Fan Wubing rushed as quickly as possible, heading in a straight line from the rooftop towards Shilong Lane.

Halfway there, the sensation beneath his feet on the rooftop became strangely different.

It was as if he were stepping on water that wouldn't sink. It wasn't just a change in feeling; it was a fundamental change—a shift in the flow of Qi.

The Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill detected it very clearly.

The flow of Qi throughout Fan Wubing's entire body was locked by a force, relentlessly dragging him downwards. This force immediately made him unable to move an inch. Soon after, he saw gray-black hands emerging from the surface of the houses, like spray of the waves, gripping his ankles tightly.

"What is this? How did the houses suddenly turn into something like water... no, not just the houses—it's as if the entire Buxu City has become a city piled up with water."

Fan Wubing widened his eyes, gaping in disbelief as he looked at Buxu City.

A towering wave, thirty zhang high, surged towards him from the direction of Zhenyue Square.

This was not a wave made of real water but one created by the streets and buildings of Buxu City. Generally speaking, streets and buildings fluctuating so dramatically would have long collapsed. Yet, a force was spread across each floorboard, within the debris, firmly holding them in place, allowing them to exist in a state not aligned with reality.

This made the entire Buxu City seem like a city constructed of highly elastic tofu.

No,

No, that's not right!

Fan Wubing sensed further, gradually realizing. More accurately, a kind of Dao mechanism, vast and profound yet obscure, enshrouded the entire Buxu City, altering the Innate Dao Charm of every inanimate object within the city.

The so-called Innate Dao Charm, to put it more simply, refers to the rules forming an object.

Previously, a brick adhered to its rule as a brick, being a solid with a hard texture.

But now, this rule had been changed, altered by the vast and obscure Dao mechanism. All the inanimate objects had turned into something akin to highly elastic tofu.

Fan Wubing could distinctly feel that this Dao mechanism was extremely powerful, prompting his concern about Fu Manman and Xianchan!

With steadfast determination, he thought, "Manman is a very smart and calm person. I can fully trust her! As for Xianchan, as long as she doesn't reveal her identity, it'll be fine."

His trust in Fu Manman came from nearly a year of living and working together.

He knew that even without him, this Little Princess could perform exceptionally well.

Without further hesitation, he deployed the combination of "Blood Calamity Immortal Skill" and "Devouring Stars and Chewing the Moon" with full power.

Thus, the gray-black hands protruding from the building surfaces, gripping him relentlessly, could no longer let go even if they wanted to.

He was like a running vortex with immense attraction, ravenously devouring the Qi and Dao mechanism covering Buxu City.

The blood was rapidly replenished!

Faster than when he secretly consumed the blood sacrifice Divine Techniques created by the Fatty Leader on the Flying Ship.

[+100,000]

In addition, the "Spiritual Tongue" continued to erode the Dao mechanism, constantly digesting it, gradually piecing together a complete understanding of the Dao mechanism.

If it weren't for urgent matters, Fan Wubing would have sat down to cultivate right there.

He quickly arrived at Shilong Lane.

Alarmingly, even Shilong Lane was affected, becoming part of the city sea and city wave.

Chengming had already been waiting there, and as soon as he saw Fan Wubing, he opened his eyes wide, a heavy power pouring from his body.

"Master Cheng!"

"Fan, you've come."

"What on earth is happening?"

Sparks of insight shot from Chengming's eyes, "Someone is attempting to sever the Dragon's Tail."

"Sever the Dragon's Tail?"

"The dragon tail of the Great Li Dynasty's national fortune lies in Buxu City. The entire Buxu City can be regarded as a tool to suppress the dragon tail of the national fortune. Yet, tonight, someone has broken through the city formation of Buxu City and forcibly altered its attributes, causing the dragon tail of the national fortune to surge forth."

Fan Wubing asked in shock, "But if the object suppressing the fortune fails, shouldn't the fortune disperse into the heavens and earth?"

Chengming replied, "Yes, ordinarily that's what would happen. But, the Great Li Dynasty is still a dynasty. The dragon's head is still in Celestial Balance Upper City. As long as Celestial Balance Upper City stands, the true instrument suppressing the nation's fortune remains, locking in the nation's fortune. Thus, I say someone wishes to sever the Dragon's Tail—to cut the connection to the nation's fortune dragon."

Fan Wubing's pupils trembled in surprise, "If they succeed, what will occur?"

Chengming furrowed his brow, "The national fortune would suffer a setback, difficult to mend. Even if mended, it would take at least two hundred years and still have deep repercussions. Without reversing the fortune, the Great Li might struggle to challenge the Imperial Dynasty for a millennium."

"Is it that serious!"

Chengming glanced vacantly, "Hmph, I actually wish for the dragon tail of the Great Li to be truly severed. But it's very unlikely."

"Why?"

"No matter the mastermind's motivation to sever the Dragon's Tail, he likely underestimates the depth of the Great Li, which became a dynasty millennia ago. He won't succeed, and he can't even compel Ye Chuxuan to take action personally. Ever since the incident three hundred years ago, the entire Great Li has been united like a taut string—any tremor is promptly detected."

Fan Wubing knew that Ye Chuxuan was the King Saint of the Great Li.

He couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't this then just be a false alarm?"

Chengming sneered, "To Celestial Balance Upper City, perhaps it's just a false alarm. But not for us. Fan, don't forget, our aim was never the dragon Qi of dynasties or a nation's fate. This Dragon's Tail, whether it's severed or not, doesn't matter. From the start, we meant to sound the Dragon-Soothing Sound!"
